Daddy Love.....

There's something wonderful to be said about a Daddy who always tries to make sure his little girl looks cute when he takes her out...Now, HE says that the only way he can get her to hold still while he does her hair is to show her that he's putting a bow in it, but I know that he enjoys the looks he gets when he takes her out...with her cute curls all Bedheady and the bow perfectly placed to accent it....
It's funny how this story begins...Like most men, Cole had some fears about becoming a father. He had never been around babies, and of course he was nervous. I think he was relieved that our first was a boy...he's from a family of all boys. By the time our second came around, he was an old pro. But this time, with a girl....he kept saying things like "but I don't know how to raise a girl" (just like you do a boy, honey...you hold them, love them, play with them, and provide for their needs)...However, he is just as great at being a daddy to a girl as he was at being a daddy to little boys, and I'm very, very lucky to have such a wonderful husband to be the father of ALL my children.

As you can see, Indy and Cosette are adjusting to each other...Actually, Cosette treats Indy like she does the kids...she tolerates as much as she can, then she hisses, nips, and stalks off. Indy, of course, thinks he's All that....Stalking her, wrapping his paws around her and nipping...I've been relieved that she's not a pushover.
My kids love the water...this combination of floatation vest and arm floaties makes it so Talia can keep her balance in the pool...unlike a regulation life jacket...she swims all over, and plays while standing on the bench in the shallow end. Life is good at Nana's pool....

Work is crazy, I'm looking forward to the Holiday coming up....
